float

Just got this dress. You lot on twitter probably have an idea where it’s from 😉


Dress: LF (similar here and here). Jumper: Vivienne Tam.  Boots: Men’s thrift. DIY slashed & added metal tips at this shop. Bag: Thrift/DIY studded.  Fedora: ASOS (pics here wearing the all brown and here in the light beige). Stone ring: YSL. Starfish ring: Random (found similar one here). Nails: Topshop Gone Fishing. 
LOVE this dress bought 3 days ago. The dramatic hemline got me.  I had been eyeing it at LF for flipping ages so in between taking street style photos, I wandered into their clearance sale. Course the crowd parted when I saw it.  
Most of today I had this jumper in my bag but layered with it towards the evening. Next time I’ll show you the whole dress but for right now I like the mix of knit and sheer.  I recommend wearing little shorts and a short black slip under it then bobs your uncle – out the door less a flash show.

ps. Thanks Teen Vogue for this feature! xoxo
